American Express credit scores

I saw they offer all 3 scores and their reports for a dollar , I was going to try it just for the 30 days but has anyone else tried it and liked it?

 

anyone know how accurate it is?

Re: American Express credit scores

I have been using Amex Credit Secure for years and really like them. Once I got my scores through here and other sources such as Walmart and from other credit applications I have found the Amex Plus scores to always be within 1-10 points accuracy.

Starting Score: EQ 717 EX 724 TU 736
Current Score: EQ 849 EX 835 TU 841

Re: American Express credit scores

I feel like there's too much lag time with the alerts- 2 days. personally, I prefer identity monitor from citi- the score analyzer feature was better & so is their explanation of score factors. Unless I'm doing something wrong, amex credit secure only breaks down ur score factors for experian.
I wouldn't rely on the scores from any credit monitoring service-all fakos.

Re: American Express credit scores

yes you can update twice a month but you need too wait 15 days to do it...

as for scores it has had me at 715 across all reports since i started using them in early november..

Re: American Express credit scores

I registered for unlimited version for $24.99/mo one month ago because I'm doing rebuilding (GW, disputes, etc).

Pulled new reports and scores everyday and IMO they're doing a good job.

I also use CK, CS, Credit.com, Scorewatch, and the Quarterly myFICO TU.

 

My plan is to cancel the unlimited next month or two because I dont need it anymore.

Re: American Express credit scores

If you use freecreditreport dot com product and Amex's they are identical in score.  Well at least it was 7 months ago when I used it for 2 months.

Re: American Express credit scores

My Plus scores vary greatly from my real Fico scores - For instance my Equifax Plus score is 70 points higher than my real FICO score, While my Experian Plus score is 60 points lower than my real FICO score. I would not count on the Plus scores for any actual financial/credit decisions!
